8.5 out of 10! Good kayak and great deal! You would actually pay
more if you purchased kayak and accessories separately and that's
not installed. Kayak tracks well, not great, but it is a short kayak so
that it is expected. Stability is very good. The boat has a lot of
wobble, but with the hull and chine design the boat it only leans so
far to one side then stops. Its very impressive how this works. As
you lean to one side you actually hear the chine take hold of the
water and the boat stops leaning. Overall design of this boat is good
although I have a couple concerns. Lots of room to store gear,
although the front hatch is a little on the small side. Seat and seat
system is top of the line and the one of the most exception things
about this boat. Very comfortable and it is great to be able to slide
seat forward and backwards in the boat. I would have made the
rear compartment not as deep. It takes on a lot of water through
the scupper holes with very little weight in the boat, I only weigh
155 lbs. Also, the center hatch near the seat has a problem with
the hinge. There are 2 small metals U shaped metal pins that hold
the hatch on. One of the pins is shaped differently than the other
so it is constantly popping out of place and falling off. Not a huge
deal, but a little annoying to have to keep putting the door back
together. There is a paddle keeper only on one side. Would be nice
to have one on both sides. Also, when the boat arrived the black
clip for the paddle park was busted. I didn't notice it until after the
delivery driver left, but no big deal for a cheap part. Great boat to
fish from except in very shallow water. It has a surprisingly large
draft for its size. My 13' Ocean Kayak Big Game Prowler with a large
center keel has a smaller draft. One last gripe on the slidetrax
installation. Try using a more recessed head or countersunk screw
to install the slidetrax. That way the screws get in the way of your
accessory less. It is a somewhat unique boat as it has a high weight
capacity, short length, and good price. Overall, this is a very nice
kayak. I would recommend this boat. After letting my brother
paddle it, he wants to get one too! Lastly, purchasing from Austin
Kayak is awesome too! Great customer service, knowledgeable, and
great prices! Thanks AK!

I love my Ride 115! It was
pretty incredible to receive it at
my front door off a delivery
truck wrapped in bubble wrap
and plastic. Everything was in
fine shape due to proper
packaging by Austin Kayak.
Getting it on the water was the
best, though. It's very stable
and has a shallow draft which
is nice when beaching it to take
a break. Easy to get in and
out, and the storage
compartments are outstanding
. . . I look forward to packing
my tent and gear for some
overnight trips in the near
future. It is a bit heavy, so I
take the seat and all other
gear out of it when I throw it
onto my car for transport, but
it's quite manageable despite
it's weight. I would buy the
Ride 115 again in a second,
and I'd use Austin Kayak again
to get it! Well done!

Just received my Ride 115
today. This is my third kayak
from ACK. I just refuse to do
business with anyone else.
Their customer service is
second to none. Prices are
great and shipping free on
kayaks. I emailed them more
than a few times with different
questions and always received
an answer within minutes!
Thumbs up to their shipping
dept. also. All kayaks were
flawless when they arrived in
Pennsylvania after a long
journey. The packaging on the
boats is phenomenal.

The Ride 115 is a great kayak.
Stable and roomy. I weigh 260
lbs. Excellent choice for big
boys. The phase 3 seat is
adjustable...slides back and
forward to adjust to your
height and leg length. The
Scotty baitcasting rod holder
was easy to install thanks to
the slide tracks. Great idea.
Many accessories available for
the slidetrack system. This
kayak is a wonderful and fun
fishing yak. Should also be a
good choice for duck hunting.
Customer service at ACK was
great. My kayak arrived a few
days after order was placed.

Review:

My husband and I have been
looking for and researching
fishing kayaks, we have never
owned kayaks before and we
wanted to have kayaks that
were stable enough to stand up
in, had enough storage space
that we could be on the water
for days at a time, and had
options for rigging the kayak
the way we wanted too for
fishing. Of course it also
had to be comfortable, track
well and have enough speed to
get across large lakes, and
most importantly it had to be
a great value for the product.
We decided to purchase two of
the Rides, I bought the 115
and we bought the 135 for my
husband because he is 66 and
250 lbs. We love them!
Wilderness systems doesnt talk
much about the ability to
stand up in them but you can
with little effort, I even
rocked it as far as I could
while standing and wouldnt tip
over..I would have fallen out
first. The only improvement I
would make to the kayak is a
higher platform seat that gets
you up a little to make it
easier to get to a standing
position from, other than that
we are completely happy! And
I cant say enough about Austin
kayaks customer service and
extremely fast shipping, they
are great!

I ordered my Ride 115 ACK
Angler package in March 2012
and after 3 full months I can
honestly say I LOVE it! It is
such a nice kayak for fishing.
Stability-This kayak has
absolutely AMAZING stability!
Sitting down there is probably
no way you can flip it.
Standing up is so nice! Yes it
feels slightly tipsy or rocky
at first but once you get used
to that it is unreal. It will
not flip unless you do
something really really
stupid. I love to stand and
fish now. It took about 3
times standing up for me to
feel comfortable standing up
AND fishing. I also fittes the
entire bottom with the Harmony
universal Silent Traction Pads
2 sets. They help so much. I
stand up in the rain and it is
no problem! I love seeing the
look on some peoples faces
when they see me standing up
on my kayak. It is very rare
around here to see anything
like that in the Pittsburgh,
Pa area.
Fit and finish- Excellent! You
have to love the replaceable
skid plate. When I launch at
boat ramps I put it in keel
first so that the skid plate
is the only thing that scraps
of the cement ramps.
Speed-This kayak is not really
built for speed. Actually when
I have the rear loaded with
gear it can be quite slow but
if you put about 3 coats of
wax on the underside it helps
a good bit and it will be
faster. For the stability you
get it is more than worth it.
When it is not loaded down it
is pretty quick for only an
11.5 kayak.
Austin Canoe and Kayak-They
are an awesome company and
very, very helpful. I must
have sent them a dozen emails
trying to find the right kayak
for me and they didnt
complain. They were very
helpful for the whole process.
Shipping was also fast and
they installed my rudder
system and anchor trolley for
free. Very cool! I recommend
ACK to anyone and it only cost
me $19 to get it shipped to my
work!
Also you can make a custom PVC
scupper kayak cart that works
amazing. I made one myself out
of 1.5 pvc and it is awesome.
I load all my gear on it and
wheel it down to the boat
ramp. I also get so many
compliments on that and the
kayak!

If your looking for a river or
small lake fishing kayak this
is it. Tracks well for the
width, and is very stable.
Stand up fishing is no
problem. The kayak also has
great storage with a huge
weight compacity. Great
fishing kayak if you want one
in a smaller package. ACK has
great customer service as
well, I live in VA and it
arrived in about a week!
